Note: <888> 12/28/07 Friday 5:40 P.M.:   I chatted with a friend.  The last time, I was in Key West, Florida in February 1982, it was quite busy because it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan, and when I got down to Key West, Florida, there was no place for me to stay.  I stayed a few days with Steve Bahl of Fennimore Cheese All Cheese, all the time… » The History of Fennimore Cheese (Part 1) for a few days until he had to use his guest room for his sister coming to visit.  I was offered a place to stay by a fellow that looked like Nelson Rockefeller Nelson Rockefeller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , but he lived in a tiny room next to the Key West Police station, and I did not want to crowd him in.  I decided to stay up all night by the ocean at the Clarence Higgs beach next to the Casa Marina.  I chatted with a young fellow that looked like a young John James Audubon whom was a local in the area.  In the morning, a Cuban Key West police officer arrested me for sleeping in public, and told me he did not like Nazis, and said I was a Nazi, because I was wearing Ray-Ban Official Website sun glasses which cost me $50 on Fifth Avenue at the time.  Back in 1976, when I first showed up in Key West, Florida for Halloween, I was told, I had to be careful, because one could be killed down there for a five dollar bill.  Thus I could have done in ten people for a pair of sunglasses.  I guess the United States Navy was not able to run a secure facility down there.  A few northern people whom seemed to know me seemed to be equally in distress.  Whatever, the real story, it would seem to me, that when I went south, some people came north, and they had a hard time, so although I was not doing anything wrong down there, it would seem to me, they held me as a political hostage down there in the tip of Florida.  They seem to have the attitude that the rest of the state does not matter.  Basically, they would listen to Jimmy Eldert, possibly because he was Jimmy Roosevelt the son of the mayor of Miami, but although I knew him in 1976 to 1978 down there and in Nantucket, by 1982, he had move to Santa Cruz, California for better surfing.  I never actually slept on the beach in Key West, by the Casa Marina that time, but I climbed up on the wall of the Fort Mallory garden that had a small terraced area off the beach.  Since I don't think it is safe to sleep on the beach in Florida in case a salt water crocodile or alligator came out of the water at night, one would be in jeopardy.  However, when you live outside in a supposedly secure area, the local population usually object, because the local population in Key West, Florida only care about tourism, and thus if they were threatened by invasion, they would not want to be bothered by any local military people whom tend to have a habit of spending quite a bit of time outside.  Since the land around the waterfront of Key West is leased by the United States Government with the lease provision that the government can use the land at any time they want to use if needed, obviously the United States Military could walk into a hotel such as the Casa Marina, and commandeer it, and use it for any purposes that they chose to at anytime they wished to so do so.  The last time I was in Key West, Florida in February 1982, there were three United States Navy frigates moored off the waterfront in front of the Casa Marina.  I assumed they were United States Navy, but they could have been from some other foreign navy.  I do recall they were grey.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/28/07 Friday 3:15 P.M.:  There is not much on television here, but another Flipper movie with Crocodile Dundee, which I have not seen before.  Most people whom watch flipper shows up north do not know about reptiles in Florida.  I called up Key West Hotel Resorts & Florida Keys Beach Accommodations - Casa Marina Resort Key West , and I chatted with them, but they were not chatty.  Not much happening here in this neck of the woods.  I think it is suppose to rain here later on tonight.  I think I will now shower and clean up, so I feel a little bit fresher.   CIO

Note: <888> 12/28/07 Friday 1:05 P.M.:  I probably will not be going out today, since I only had five hours sleep last night, and I was awake 22 hours yesterday.  I checked the outside lights on the Audi, and the are all fine.  Earlier, I hung from the driver's side rear window hook a new Christmas tree royal pine scent cards.  www.dhl.com just delivered the  FRYS.com | MAXTOR 300 GB Ultra DMA Maxtor Hard drive kit for $44 and two day shipping for $9.99 for $53.99 total.  I will keep it to have for a spare and possibly use in future use.   I will now eat the same dinner at the last three days.  CIO   

Note: <888> 12/28/07 Friday 11:45 A.M.:   I woke up at 5 A.M. this morning.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes.  I went outside, and I took the front license plates off the Audi, and I put the other two star or hex head bolts on the lower side of the new front license plate bracket, so it now has four hex or star bolts attaching it to the front bumper.  I then put the front license plate back on the Audi.  I checked the oil, and it is full.  It was just changed, and my relative had all the maintenance done on it including oil and filter change.  They spent about $1300 on the most recent maintenance.  They also had the Audi detailed, so if I washed the car, if would look just fine, but since it is going to rain tomorrow, I will not worry about washing the Audi.  I put the Greenwich Land Trust The Greenwich Land Trust sticker in the rear lower right inside of the rear window.  It is a more sensible sticker, since it adheres, but it can be easily removed, since it is not adhesive.  Their donation form is here The Greenwich Land Trust - Donate Now Email Form .  I put the snow brushes and the umbrellas in the rear of the car, except one small folding umbrella in the rear map holder on the passenger side.  Thus the rear seat can be used more easily without the other objects around.  I sorted out some smaller items in the blue duffle bag that I left in the rear of the car.  I left one ice scraper in front of the driver's side floor of the car.  I brought up the cassette tapes and I left them by the stereo system, where the white vinegar scent bowl was, and I removed that, since I do not think I need it.  I also found in a small pink carrying bag that the tapes were in, a set of poker dice, which I put by the playing cards by the French reproduction chair.  I put the small pink canvas carrying bag hanging by the front door with the other carry bags.  It has my relative's name tag on it.  I brought up the Audi owner's manual with the other information to look at and to sort through.  I put the Senior Center and the Arts Center parking pass above the passenger side front visor.  I found a third Audi key which is a valet key, and I brought it up to the apartment.  A valet key does not work on the glove box, and possibly not on the trunk.  I chatted with a relative.  I now have to water the plants, and throw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  A Microsoft Representative called up about selling me the Microsoft Action Pack for small businesses, but I explained to the them what I know and that I can not afford it. If I go out today, I need to get two new rear license plate bolts for the Audi at Welcome to New Country Audi of Greenwich, because the current ones are rusted and have Phillips screw heads that are worn.  I also need to get English muffins or bagels and bananas.  I also need to get a couple of quarts of oil and some fuel injector cleaner to put into the Audi fuel tank.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 11:35 A.M.:  I am a bit tired.  I have been awake for 21 hours, so I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  Have a good night.  CIO 

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 9:30 A.M.:  I chatted with my relative delivering the Audi after the last note.  I went outside, and I chatted with some neighbors, and I waited for my two relatives to deliver the Audi.  They arrived at noon.  I got in the Audi with them, and they got out at the Greenwich train station, and I took over the Audi.  I said goodbye, but they live nearby, so they have friends in the area.  I got two sets of keys with the Audi.  I then went by the Shell station at 83 East Putnam Avenue, and had the VIN number check on my out of state vehicle, and they checked the emissions for $20, and I passed the emissions test.  I then went by the Chase Bank on Mason Street, and I used their ATM machine.  I then used the bathroom downstairs at the Bank of New York.  I then drove up to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles in Norwalk, Connecticut, on I-95 East and Route 7 north, and I got the form, I needed, and I filled it out.  I chatted with a friend on my cell phone, and I waited for the 14 people in front of me.  They charged me all together $55 to transfer the out of state title, and register the Audi with my Connecticut plates.  It was $25 title transfer, $20 registration transfer, and $10 inspection fee for $55 total.  I do not pay sales tax since I am getting the Audi from an immediate relative.  I then took off the out of state plate off the rear of the Audi, and I put on my same old Connecticut plate.  There was no way to mount the front plate, which I took care of later.  I put the Connecticut DMV sticker in the driver's side inside lower corner of the front window.  I chatted with somebody from Genoa, Italy about living in Italy and volcanoes.  I used the bathroom at the DMV.   I then took the Merritt Parkway back to Greenwich, and I got off at North Street.  I stopped by the Greenwich Automotive Exxon Service Station, and I bought $31 of premium self service gasoline at $3.759 a gallon for 8.246 gallons for 170.5 miles driving since my relatives filled it up at odometer reading of 59,374 miles for 20.677 miles per gallon in mixed driving.  I then went by the Welcome to New Country Audi of Greenwich , and I bought a front license plate bracket for my 1998 Audi A6 sedan, part # 1416B4B0-807-285-A-3FZ for $87.60 and $5.26 sales tax for $92.86 total.  I then returned home, and I chatted with a neighbor.  I use two pointed screws to start the holes to mount the license plate bracket, and once they were started, I use a small hex bit on a driver to mount the front license plate bracket with the screws that came with it, and then I use four screws to mount the front license plate.  I put the items that I had taken out of the Buick wagon and stored in the apartment, and I put them back in the Audi.  I copied the paper work and receipts for the activity that I had done.  I put the Audi key ring on the second spare key.  I chatted with two relatives.  I have the emissions inspection report, the new registration, and the www.geico.com insurance card in the black vinyl paper holder in the glove box.  Thus the Audi is all set for my normal driving routine.   My relatives had all of the maintenance done on it before I received it.  I will now reheat and eat the same dinner at the last two nights.   CIO

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 10:50 A.M.:  I will now shut down the computer, and I will wait inside for my relatives to arrive.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 10:30 A.M.:  I chatted with a friend.  I put the tea in the refrigerator to become iced tea.  I am ready to go, once my relatives arrive with the Audi in a half hour or so.  CIO 

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 9:45 A.M.:  I went out after the last note, and I went outside, and I chatted with some neighbors.  I then ate a piece of pumpkin pie with a scoop of lite maple ice cream and a glass of iced tea.  I then chatted with a relative.  The plans have changed and the Audi will be delivered here between 11 and 11:30 A.M. today.   I will drop off my relatives at the train station, and I will probably get the emissions checked, and I will then transfer the title and registration at the Norwalk DMV.  I chatted with a neighbor downstairs.  I am making up a batch of Formula One http://mikelouisscott.com/icetea.htm .

I went through my email.   I will now shower and clean up.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 5:15 A.M.:  I can raise you two more Dons for ten Dons, there is my godfather Don Schuler and Eye, Ear, Noise, Throat doctor in St. Louis, Missouri, and there also once was an actor named Don Knots of the Knots Barry Farm near Disney Land, so it is basically a fairly common name in America.  I think it also comes the fact that one of the primary Disney www.disney.com characters over the years was Donald Duck.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 4:35 A.M.:  I can raise you three more Dons.  I also knew Don Menifee who was a vice president of the Midwest Bank in Lake Forest, Illinois.  I met Hurley Haywood's stepfather who was named Don Reuben, who was suppose to be the head attorney for Hertz rent a car, and somebody out here back east also told me he was the head attorney for the Chicago mafia.  I also have heard in Greenwich, Connecticut about Donald Merchant who is Tom Devlin's Thomas Devlin Obituary October 10, 1995 grandson, and although I have never met him, and I do not know what he looks like, he is suppose to be a large person, and the Greenwich Time use to print stories that he is the Chief of Detectives here in Greenwich, Connecticut.  There also use to be a Joe Merchant down in Key West, Florida.  That is eight Dons.  I am trying to figure out with Turkey invading Northern Iraq, if they are our allies or if they are fighting against us.  Having visited Turkey in the spring of 1972, I know they are formidable military force.    CIO

Note: <888> 12/27/07 Thursday 4:00 A.M.:  I woke up at 2 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana, two toasted English muffins with olive oil, orange and grape and cranraspberry juice with vitamins and supplements and coffee with milk and splenda sweetener.  When I mentioned Chris Groom in my notes, when I met him 19 years ago, while he was jogging around town at night.   I found out that he was raised next to the Rye, New York high school with three older brothers, and his father was the actor Sam Groom that started the jogging trend in Manhattan.  He told me he had caddied for Donald Trump at the Winged Foot Country Club the summer before, and he thought Donald Trump was out of shape and looked like a pear.  That is much the same way I look today, so maybe I should be playing golf with Donald Trump.  However, I also have a younger nephew named Chris whom does not live in this area, and he might be the cleverest Chris of the group.  In terms of Donalds, I can raise one Donald Trump with four more Donalds for five of a kind.  One of my parents best friends growing up was Donald MacBride whom was from Muskegon, Michigan, and is retired in Hilton Head, South Carolina.  When I first moved back to Manhattan, in 1973, I met Donald Monroe whom was raised at Fort Hood, Texas since his father was a major in the Army, and Donald Monroe lived south of SoHo, across the street from the telephone exchange and military intelligence headquarters in Manhattan.  He later moved up town to 13th street across the street from the Forbes building and near where Ramsey Clark lived.  He use to show videotapes of 50,000 Bradley tanks all lined up, and we tried to figure out if it was real or trick photography like Adolph Hitler use to do.  I never met him, but Jimmy Eldert's father was named Donald Eldert, and since his family were neighbors of Richard Nixon in Key Biscayne, Florida, Donald Eldert might have had something to do with the U.S. Government.  Jimmy's family supposedly own a bank in Syracuse, New York, but I am not sure what bank.  Locally here I know  Donald MacIntyre, and he worked at Putnam Trust for a great many years, and the last I heard he was working at U.S. Trust next door.  The last time I chatted with him, I asked him if U.S. Trust had safe deposit vaults, and he told me no.  I suggest to him they should make investments in the liquor business, since it seems to be profitable.  I will now make my bed and wash the breakfast dishes.   CIO 

Note: <888> 12/26/07 Wednesday 5:45 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative.  My relatives are not going to deliver the Audi tomorrow.  Instead this weekend on Saturday or Sunday, three other relatives will deliver the Audi.  It is fine with me, since I am able to keep busy working at home.  I will now shut down the primary Vista computer, and I will go to bed soon.  CIO 

Note: <888> 12/26/07 Wednesday 5:15 P.M.:  I called back www.llbean.com , and I chatted with them about the Union Suit  Two-Layer Union Suit, Men's: Hunting Gear and Apparel at L.L.Bean that I ordered it in red in double extra large tall for $34.99, and I used coupon code "2700000" for free 3 to 5 day ground shipping for $34.95 total.  I asked them if they knew the weather forecast for the upcoming winter, and they told me it is suppose to be worse than normal.  They told me they had already had four snow storms in southern Maine.  If says in the notes for the Red Union suit that you are suppose to wash in similar colors, and definitely not in you whites, or you would have a lot of pink whites.  I mentioned that I had given my last L.L. Bean Maine Field Coast to a marathon runner in this area about 19 years ago.  I think when I met http://mikelouisscott.com/chris2000.jpg , I also bought him a green www.llbean.com Gortex jacket that I bought in the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop for $50, since he did not have a winter coat.  However, being from Jay Peak, Vermont, he might not have needed a winter coat.  The Marathon runner was Chris Groom from Rye, who went to the University of Vermont.  The last I heard from Chris Parizo is that he is doing condominium maintenance in New London, Connecticut and living at the entrance to the Coast Guard Academy.  However, being younger people, they both probably lead different lifestyles than I do.  Chris Groom is suppose to be a physical fitness trainer over in Stamford, Connecticut.  I still see him jogging around here occasionally.  Well, when you are somebody like myself who spends a lot of time outside walking around year round, you tend to meet other people whom spend time outside, if you get my snow drift.  The phone operator at L.L. Bean told me the store is still privately owned, and it is not owned by www.sears.com .  They told me Sears had bought Lands End.  CIO

I went through my email.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/26/07 Wednesday 3:40 P.M.:  I went out after the last note, and I threw out some garbage.  I chatted with some neighbors.  There was a light colored BMW wagon in our parking lot from California, so somebody must have driven across country in this winter weather.  I picked up my mail.  I reheated and made the same dinner as yesterday's Christmas dinner.  I will now go through my email.  I set the living room thermostat at 70 degrees Fahrenheit to try to save on energy, but that will leave the living room at around 65 degrees and a bit damp.  When one has arthritis, the dampness can bother one. CIO 

Note: <888> 12/26/07 Wednesday 1:00 P.M.:  I chatted with a relative.  I called up www.llbean.com , and I changed the order to double extra large in tall in red for the Two-Layer Union Suit, Men's: Hunting Gear and Apparel at L.L.Bean I ordered it in red in double extra large tall for $34.99, and I used coupon code "2700000" for free 3 to 5 day ground shipping for $34.95 total.  I do not wear the union suit when going outside, because I have plenty of other long underwear and winter clothes.  When it gets really cold around here, and with the higher price of fuel, I lower the theromstat a bit, and it is now set at 74 degrees Fahrenheit in the living room, which would leave the living room at around 68 degrees Fahrenheit, I wear the union suits over my leisure clothes such as sweat pants and rugby shirt, so I have extra warmth, particularly when I go to bed, since I keep the bedroom colder.  I had a telephone call from www.overstock.com , and they called to confirm the Sumsung color laser printer was cancelled.  I will now go out and check the mail.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/26/07 Wednesday 11:10 A.M.:  I received email that the Samsung CLP-300 Laser Printer : Printers & Scanners from Overstock.com was cancelled, and the $75.94 will be returned to my bank account, which has not happened yet.  I ate a bowl of goldfish crackers.  I chatted with a relative twice.  I checked with the Shell station at 83 East Putnam Avenue, and I can bring the Audi there with the out of state plates to get emissions checked and do the VIN number check all for $20.  I also can take the Audi to transfer the title and register it at the DMV: Norwalk Office which will be simpler for me.   Tomorrow Thursday, they are opened late until 7 P.M..  Two of my relatives are suppose to deliver the Audi tomorrow morning at around 10 A.M., and I will drop them off afterwards at the Greenwich train station.  I guess I could do the emissions and DMV after that.  They are suppose to be bringing the title and the bill of sale from a relative, so I will not pay sales taxes, since I am being given it by my sister.  I have my paper work and license plates in a bag ready to take with me.  I also have a Phillips and a regular screw driver and a pair of pliers, but I do not know what type of license plate bolts the Audi has for exchanging the plates.  I was given an extra $5 into my account by www.overstock.com for the problem with the Samsung color laser printer.  In their email, they said they did not have it inventory anyway.  I also showered, and I cleaned up.  CIO

Note: <888> 12/26/07 Wednesday 8:15 A.M.:   Actually I have a spare Gigabyte GA-7VT600P-RZ which works with SATA, and I have another one that might be all right, but I am not sure, plus the same one in the primary Vista computer without a SATA controller, plus I have a similar VIA600 motherboard with SATA, so in effect I probably have three similar motherboards with SATA controllers that are like my current Gigabyte GA-7VT600-RZ motherboard without SATA, so as far as primary computer motherboards, I have ample backup.  However, there is no reason to change the C: drive at the moment, since it is just 13 months old, but constantly used.  If it failed, I would could technically restore my external backup to the current 200 gigabyte D: hard drive installed as a C: drive, however, I would lose my beta downloads, which I have on DVD too.  I could also try my 160 gigabyte Epox computer D: drive for a C: drive in an emergency, but it might be slightly too small or large, and it might not work for a short term fix.  The other alternative would be to use the new Maxtor 250 gigabyte hard drive from the Bytecc external hard drive.  If I was doing preventive maintenance before any hard drive failure, I could install the Bytecc Maxtor 250 gigabyte hard drive as the primary Vista computer D: drive and copy my backup files and Vista backup to it, and use the Seagate 200 Gigabyte hard drive at the C: drive, and use the new Maxtor 320 gigabyte hard drive in the Bytecc external hard drive.  However, with the spare hard drive, I do not think there is any reason to do any preventive maintenance, since at this point the current primary Vista computer Western Digital 160 gigabyte C: drive might well run for another two years or more without any difficulty, and a lot can happen in that period if you get my drift.  In an emergency even with low funds, I can always order a suitable replacement hard drive from www.newegg.com at the regular price with a two to three day delivery.   CIO
